About these units
Pennyweight (pwt)
The pennyweight, equal to 1/20 of a troy ounce or 1.55517384 grams, is a unit used primarily in the precious metals and jewelry industries. Its origins lie in medieval English coinage, when the weight of silver pennies provided a practical standard for small masses. Jewelers continue to use the pennyweight because many traditional pricing structures and metalworking conventions are built around troy-based subdivisions. For gold, silver, and dental alloys, the pennyweight remains easier to work with than grams due to long-established norms. Even though the metric system is now dominant scientifically, the pennyweight persists because industries tied to history—especially those involving money and precious goods—tend to maintain deeply rooted practices.
Kilogram-force Second/Meter (kgf·s²/m)
This unusual unit represents a derived inertial mass-like quantity used in older engineering contexts based on gravitational force units rather than pure mass. One kilogram-force is the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity. When combined with s²/m, this creates a pseudo-mass unit used in engineering calculations involving dynamic systems. Although rarely used today, kgf·s²/m illustrates a transitional phase in engineering where gravitational and inertial concepts were intermixed before SI units standardized distinctions between mass and force.
